Vatra Games is “under review."

By Andrew Goldfarb

Silent Hill: Downpour developer Vatra Games is reportedly in danger of being closed. According to a statement from Kuju Entertainment, the developer that owns Vatra, the management team has “been conducting a strategic review of all aspects of the business” and the activities of Vatra “are currently under review.”

The statement notes that “no decisions have yet been made,” and employees from Vatra have yet to comment. Vatra is based in the Czech Republic, and fellow Czech developer David Semik (from 2K Czech) said simply “Vatra Games RIP” on Twitter.

In addition to Downpour, Vatra is said to have agreed to do an additional game in collaboration with Konami, though no formal announcement has been made. We’ve reached out to Konami about the status of that project, and we’ll update this story with any concrete news about the status of Vatra.
